our personal baggage had already been packed
into the whaleboat, and WINS therefore saved

the interior Of venezuela.

The vast interior Of this great land Ia
almost unexplored. A good story Is told
of n certain inland river for whose pur-
chase large sum was offered by England
and a larger demanded by Venezuela.
Surveyors we're sent out at great expense
To ascertain the course of the stream.
They camn back and reported there was
no such ri ser in existence The bargain

drawn. Amid the mountain ranges, upon
mighty ''Ilanos''-vast plains like our
western pr,lir-e:.-there still reside rem
nants Of the ancient Csribs, whose ances-
tors captured the islands where Columbus
found the race when he came. They re-
tain their language and their customs,
living by the chase and by predatory war
fare upon their neighbors, the Motiiunes,
who are cannibals, or the farther Goa)iras,
who are not much better.
In the vast rivers, alligators. deadly
snakes and innunerable fish find con-
genial homes: and upon their banks rise
grand forests of ebony, rosewood, mahog-
any, gold wood and trees Of hundred
other varieties, where tigers, leopards,
jaguars and pumas roam at Will, pursu-
ing the great herds Of deer and antelopes
that form their prey. Boas twenty 1eet

dream away the hours after hearty meal.
The trees are inhabited by monkeys and
bright winged parrots, both of which
make excellent food. The Indians Of
these hunting grounds are as fierce and
relentless as the beasts on whom they
make war.
But this is all far away, and during our
two mouths travel in Venezuela, not one
glance at monkey, tiger, snake OF parrot
